Moving into 2017

Well I've reduced that mountain of binding down to a molehill! I finished up 25 assorted place mats and table mats.... I have 14 assorted table toppers, mugmats and small wall hangings pinned and ready leaving one 30's quilt left in the binding bucket! Wow! I'm hoping to finish up the last 14 today...

I've been going thru baskets, bags and buckets and trying to clean up the pit a bit... I have two tables cleared off ( OMG flat surfaces to work on!) and it seems the more I dig into the more things I find!

I found a pretty blue bag.......... inside that pretty blue bag I found a thimbleberries wallhanging from 2008...a 30's quilt ( yes... I like 30's) and an assortment of other small wallhangings that now need to be quilted......... not sure what I want to do with that thimbleberries thing... it's a huge wall hanging 60x60 and its a giant house with flowers........ that was the only year I was in the TB club... somewhere I have some fabric that I can probably piece into a backing for it if I decide to keep it........ I'll thnk about it more when I get back to it

Also made two ties.........and a small little change purse type wallet.... really cute and used up a tiny bit of scraps..........

On the knitting front I've been trying to work on my Cascade 220 paint scarf... it's just about half way... that's about the only knitting i've been doing...

and..................... I got a new sewing/embroidery machine... her name is Emily Grace and she's a Janome MC9900. She has a bit of a learning curve as my embroidery machine for the last 15 years has been a brother ULT.......... but she's wonderful and she's fun and I'm sure we will get along just fine!!

That's it for now....... I'm going to venture back into the archeological dig that's going on in my sewing pit...... have a mini mania challenge to work on... more bout that another time
